Playa la Arena is today one of three separate resorts (Los Gigantes, Puerto Santiago and Playa la Arena) that have merged into one. Playa la Arena is the most modern of the three and has a beautiful long stretch of blue Flag standard black sand beaches.

Situated on the south coast of Tenerife and very close to the Reina Sofia airport, Golf del Sur as its name suggests, is primarily a golfing resort. There are numerous world-class courses on offer, but this should not put off the non-golfer, as there are other activities besides testing your swing.
